Dewa Alit and Gamelan Salukat

In this profile, I share information about Dewa Alit and Gamelan Salukat. First, I provide a description of his philosophies, ideas about culture, and strategic vision for the group. Then I analyse the organology of three out of the four incarnations of the Salukat instruments, detailing their tuning, key configuration, use of ombak, and frame design. I also discuss the compositional implications of his instrument designs, drawing on my experiences composing for the group.
